Welcome ELL Students!
Emmett O'Brien offers support services for English Language Learners (students who have limited skills in communicating in English). Ms. Parady is a certified TESOL instructor and helps students with their studies in academic and technology areas through team teaching and if necessary self-contained classes.
Our goal is to help students successfully adapt to the school environment and to excel to the best of their ability. We focus on teaching students differentiated strategies to meet learning styles and literacy needs.
Ell students are assessed annually with the LAS Links a statewide test which determines proficiency levels in speaking, writitng and listening in English. ELL students are entitled to accomodations and modifications as needed in the classroom and on tests, including the CAPT test.
